PALATKA, FLA, June 4.
The writer. citizen, request you
to- give these few lines insertion in your
paper to correct the erroneous statement
made in a circular issued this morning,
and signed by the Secretary of the Board
of Health, DIR. j. q. Ames, in which he
states ''In view of the fact, that yell W
fever has gained foot hold i'm the State
of Florida, etc. The citizens begs to
inform the Board of Health that Key
West, where few cases of yellow fever
have made their appearance which is
not an unusual annual occurrence ON the
Island, is no more a part of the State of
Florida, except in name, than the island
of Cuba is of Spa N. Key West is an is
land sixty nautical miles distant from
the main land of Florida, and therefore
has no more connection with Florida
than Cuba has. The citizens would re-
quest the Board of Health to correct
their proclamation and name the island
of Key West and not Florida as the
foothold. 1 hope that the Board will
consent to correct their statement there
by uphold the good reputation which
Florida proper has for its healthfulness
as it is shown by the latest sanitary
reports of the U. s. Census i'm which
Florida stands i'm health statistics ten
per cent. against eighteen per cent. OF
